Veronica + Gabe {Sonoma Engagement Photos, Benzinger Winery Photos, Firefighter engagement photos, fire house engagement photos}

-What a fun couple! We started this shoot off at the Downtown Sonoma Fire House. Gabe works there so we were able to open up the garage and take the pictures right there in front of the trucks! Veronica is so proud of what Gabe does and it showed! We had lots of fun taking those pictures! Gabe even gave me a little fire hat to bring home to my son! He was so so so excited! I came home from the shoot with cold stone for my "boys" and I also had the fire hat. Aidan grabbed it and smiled, then set it down and said ice cream?? ... a boy after my own heart! then the second he finished his ice cream he picked up the hat and put it on and ran around the house! Gotta hand it to him, he has his priorities in order!
After the fire house we just drove around Sonoma, Glen Ellen, and a few other little towns in that area. We stumbled upon Benzinger Winery and ended up staying there and walking all over the property. It was gorgeous there!
My favorite part of the shoot though was the very end. Gabe has this "Good Husband" thing down pat already! We were in the car a lot during the shoot driving from place to place but Gabe waited until we finished and headed back to the fire house to tune the radio to the Giants game! Not that I would have minded it earlier but he knew the photos were important to Veronica and he was focused right along with her!
I have a really hard time picking my favorites so there are quite a few here....ENJOY!
